# Event Details - **Event Name**: Solidarity With Ukraine's Trade Union Movement - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 27 Oct, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Tue, 27 Oct, 2026 at 08:00 pm (+00:00) - **Event Description**: From Scotland to Ukraine - Trade Unions make us strong and aid the democratic process - all under threat in Ukraine by Russia's warAbout this EventAs Ukraine faces its fourth winter of war and Russian missiles rain down on its communities, its people face continued uncertainty, privation and threat to life. Whilst we hear much about the country's very real need for military and other supports to defend itself from the fascist and expansionist designs of its larger neighbour, we hear little of its trade unions and their role in the democratic processes under threat from Russia. With their activities curtailed by wartime legislation and many of their members serving in the armed forces, they nonetheless continue to organise and inflluence employers and government. Efforts have been made by trade unions in Scotland to forge links and provide support to their sister organisations in Ukraine. The aim of this event is to bring this aspect of solidarity to the attention of parliamentarians and others. Ukraine has two trade union federations (the equivalent of the STUC and TUC here) - the KPVU and the FPU, both of which organise workers across the whole economy of Ukraine, including within the armed forces.Chaired by Katy Clark MSP, speakers confirmed so far (others invited):Ivanna Khrapko - international spokeperson for the FPU in Kyiv, Youth President of the Public Services Trade Union (speaking from Kyiv)Yulia Yurchenko - author, academic and UK representative of the KPVU (speaking from London)Andrii Madzianovskyi - Consul for Ukraine in EdinburghStephen Gethins - MSP Minister for External AffairsLillian Macer - Secretary, UNISON ScotlandTickets are limited so sign up now!Once you have signed up you will be asked to provide your address and postcode to ensure your admission to the Parliament building for the event. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/edinburgh/solidarity-with-ukraines-trade-union-movement/100001998530274851 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours - Location: Scottish Parliament Building - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Edinburgh - **state**: SC - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Scottish Parliament Building - **lat**: 55.952282 - **long**: -3.1748658 - **full address**: Scottish Parliament Building, Scottish Parliament Building, Edinburgh, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Solidarity With Ukraine's Trade Union Movement - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/a3c1ea41ee1f53e0f1346898f9bd4897eed1f8b436d908ce7dc36985629505e3-rimg-w1200-h626-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg?v=1787318228 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Solidarity With Ukraine's Trade Union Movement being held? - **A:** Solidarity With Ukraine's Trade Union Movement takes place on Tue, 27 Oct, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Tue, 27 Oct, 2026 at 08:00 pm at Scottish Parliament Building, Scottish Parliament Building, Edinburgh, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Solidarity With Ukraine's Trade Union Movement? - **A:** Solidarity With Ukraine's Trade Union Movement is organized by Colin Turbett. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
